Hey, remember the '90s? 

Just when I thought '80s music was all the rage, every '90s band that was any good is coming back in the next couple of months. We've already had new albums from Garbage and Nine Inch Nails, and this month brings new Weezer, Oasis, Better than Ezra. Later this summer look for new Foo Fighters. That's good, classic mid-'90s stuff right there. Meanwhile, Audioslave are reportedly playing Rage and Soundgarden songs live now (that doesn't make up for the crapfest that is their new single, but it's pretty cool nonetheless).

As I write this, I'm hanging out in a college radio station in Nashville, TN listening to my brother do his show. There's some really good stuff out there right now, a lot of it British, but most of what you hear on commercial radio is recycled '80s or new songs from '90s bands. As of yet, there hasn't been any real 21st century "sound." Why is that? Let's discuss on the message boards. Ignore the come-ons for online poker.
